5000k, 5500k, or 6000k
I just installed Garax 6000k HID bulbs. I like how they look from the outside. Visibility change wasn't drastic, but I see a little blue on the road.
Which kelvin/bulb combo will give me decent light output with the slightest bit of blue. Less blue than the Garax 6000k?
I was thinking either the Philips 5000k or the PIAA 5500k. Do you know which one would be best for me?

Both would be way more expensive than the Garax 6000k, around ~$100 more, I have the 8000k and will be changing to the 6000k because my night vision and eyesight has been getting worse.

I am still thinking about this 5000, 5500, or 6000K question.
I want a whiter less yellow HID bulb. However I don't want it to be bluish so that it stands out a lot. I drive faster than traffic, so I would rather the cop notices me later than sooner. If they notice me sooner, they may hide and then pace me. If they notice me later they are forced to use a laser gun which I prefer.
Any thoughts on what I should get?

well if you got the money to spend i would say HIDCONCEPT.COM they can make you a custom Philips ultinon 6k rebase for 9006 fog light which is what i have but i havent had time to install them yet. other than that i dont know about the other two company you'll have to do your search on them.
